MKFAPL1

The MKFAPL1 is a larger-format extraction cabin designed for work surfaces where uniform fume and vapor capture across the entire work area is required. The full-width perforated rear extraction wall provides even airflow across the cabin, minimizing dead zones and ensuring consistent capture at any point on the work surface. It is suited to painting, coating, adhesive bonding, soldering lines, and other larger-area bench processes.

Applications

  • Painting and spray coating at bench workstations.
  • Adhesive bonding and solvent application over larger work surfaces.
  • Electronics assembly soldering lines.
  • Any bench process requiring uniform fume capture across a wide work area.

Key Features

  • Full-width perforated rear extraction wall for uniform airflow across the work surface.
  • Larger format than MKFAKR07 for wider bench processes.
  • Minimizes dead zones — consistent capture at any point on the work surface.
  • Compatible with Fuchs filter units via standard duct connections.
  • Side panels available to further enclose the work zone.

MKFAPL1

The MKFAPL1 is a wide-format extraction cabin with a full-width perforated stainless or coated-steel rear wall. Airflow is balanced across the perforations to maintain uniform face velocity across the work zone. The open front allows operator access, and side panels can optionally enclose the work area to reduce air loss around the edges.

Selection Notes

  • Select MKFAPL1 when uniform capture across a wide bench surface is required.
  • For small bench-top applications, MKFAKR07 is likely sufficient and lower cost.
  • For solvent/adhesive applications with explosion risk, use the ABKAB series instead.
  • Contact Pantron Automation for air volume requirements and filter unit pairing.

Integration Notes

  • Confirm air volume requirements and match to a Fuchs filter unit with appropriate capacity.
  • Plan duct routing and connection sizes before installation.
  • Maintain clear access to the open front for operator ergonomics.
  • Contact Pantron Automation for current dimensional data and configuration options.
